Trinidad Perry Stokes's normals sit in a dry climate class: BSk
Precipitation is low relative to temperature but above true desert thresholds: cold semi-arid steppe (BSk). Class BSk is the Peel et al. (2007) label for this station's monthly mean temperature and precipitation normals: dry (arid or semi-arid), specifically cold semi-arid steppe.

The year, day by day
Trinidad Perry Stokes works both ends of the calendar. Normal highs climb to 91°F by July 13 and hold at or above 90°F on 21 dates, then normal lows drop to freezing or below on 156 dates, bottoming at 18°F around December 21.
When the heat sits
Normal highs reach 90°F from July 5 through July 25, covering 21 dates. The broader mild season, normal highs of 70°F or more, runs May 3 to October 13.
This counts calendar dates whose 1991–2020 normal high reaches 90°F. It is a smaller number than the 90°F+ day counts in the monthly table above, which measure how often the threshold was actually crossed in a typical year. A date can average 88°F and still exceed 90°F in half of all years.
The freezing stretch
The normal low stays at or below 32°F into April 2, then returns to freezing around October 30, covering 156 dates in all.
Derived from the normal daily minimum. This is a different measure from the 50%-probability frost dates shown elsewhere on this page, which come from NOAA’s frost product.
Where the wet dates fall
The likeliest wet date is July 28, when 35% of years recorded at least a hundredth of an inch. The driest is January 6 at 11%. Summed across the calendar, that is about 73 wet dates a year.
The widest day
March 16 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 32°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Trinidad Perry Stokes runs a summer-peaked wet season
41% of Trinidad Perry Stokes's yearly precipitation falls in June, July and August alone, against the 25% an evenly spread year would give those three months. The wettest month is July at 2.1", on a 42°F seasonal spread. Warm-season convection and, across the Southwest, the North American monsoon produce this shape: rain arrives in short heavy bursts during the hottest part of the year rather than as long cool-season soaking.
- Wettest three months: July, August, May, taking 44% of the annual total between them.
- Driest month: February at 0.4".
- Winter share: 9% falls in December, January and February.
Shares are computed from this station's own 1991-2020 monthly precipitation normals. A summer-peaked label means the June-August share reaches 35%; it describes timing across an average year, not any single season, and says nothing about how heavy an individual storm can be.
Trinidad Perry Stokes is dry, and what does fall arrives gently
Only about 73 days a year record measurable precipitation here, 20% of the calendar, and they carry 12.6" between them. At roughly 0.17 inches on an average wet day, this is not the damp drizzle of a marine climate; it is an arid record in which precipitation is both uncommon and light when it appears.
The wettest month by count is July at about 10 wet days; the driest is January at about 3.
A low per-event average in a dry record is a statement about typical days only. Arid regions can still take a large share of a year's total from a single convective storm, which a normal cannot show.
A wet day is one recording at least 0.01 inches. These are 1991-2020 normals: they describe an average year, not the extremes within it.

Scarce-water calendar
Where Trinidad Perry Stokes's limited precipitation lands
heating led · dry · mid swing
Trinidad Perry Stokes's energy balance leans toward cold weather: 5,272 annual heating degree days against 877 for cooling. Its 42.0°F seasonal range still makes the monthly rows more useful than the annual average alone.
Trinidad Perry Stokes's frost-free season lasts about 158 days, a middle-length window whose endpoints matter more than the annual average. It describes freeze probability, not year-specific planting conditions.
July and December mark the typical warm and cold ends of the calendar in Trinidad Perry Stokes's middle-range seasonal profile. The measured spread is 42.0°F. The annual average is 53°F. Neither the annual mean nor one extreme month represents the full calendar on its own.
Trinidad Perry Stokes's cold-season load does not imply a wet climate. Annual precipitation is 12.7 inches, which places the station in PlainClimate's dry range. Snowfall is not added to the interpretation because its annual value is missing. The snowfall and rainfall fields should be read separately rather than inferred from temperature.

Data source: NOAA U.S. Climate Normals v1.0.1 (1991-2020). All figures on this page are from Trinidad Perry Stokes's primary station: TRINIDAD PERRY STOKES AP (USW00023070). For informational purposes only.
Place identity: U.S. Census Bureau 2024 Gazetteer places. The conservative exact name-and-state crosswalk finds no Census place match, so PlainClimate treats this as a station-mapped location and does not claim it is a municipality. No exact Gazetteer row for Trinidad Perry Stokes; facility counts that depend on place identity are therefore an upper bound, not a municipal census.
